The ski resort Steibis with its rare combination of beautiful surroundings and guaranteed snow in the winter is pretty unique in Germany. Skier can expect about 33 kilometers (20,5 miles) of alpine trails. The 13 lifts bring you up the mountain from where you have access to extra long trails and an amazing panorama from almost everywhere. Pass the Nagelflukette while you are descending into the valley. With six kilometers blues (3,7 miles), almost 17 kilometers (10,5 miles) red marked and 11 kilometers (6,8 miles) of black trails everyone in your party will be satisfied. The diversified trails are well-groomed and updated snow-making machines and flood light for night skiing is available. Moreover there´s a race slope with time measurement.

The ski kids park Imberg that includes a ski kindergarten and a ski school close to Imberg top station will make every kids heart beat faster.

Grab one of the many ski tows in order to get up the mountain and off you go through the lovingly landscaped area.

Freestylers love the terrain park of the ski resort Steibis. Three lines give them everything they need: Boxes, jumps, rollers, down rails, flat rails and much more. It´s pretty great for beginners as well. After a few cool tricks Freestyler can hang out at the park base Bärenstadtl in deck chairs accompanied by relaxed music. The 1833 meter (6013 feet) high Hochgrat is an insider tip for Freerider and off-piste lovers. The six kilometer (3,7 miles) long trails are actually ideal for carving by being super wide and generous.

Ski circuits are available everywhere in the resort and those are especially well-groomed in the winter time. You´ll sure have a blast! Great starting points are Hochgrat, Imberg plateau or Schindelberg-Hagspiele.
